Unbuttoned I prefer the AT coat.

It is early morning my time. And spell-check just told me I misspelled "defense", oh and "misspelled" for that matter. Geezus. Maybe I should go back to bed and try again later </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-schizophrenic-fashion-personality#post-233549 Sun, 17 Oct 2010 07:28:49 +0000 RoseandJoan 233549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the AT jacket looks fab Tara but to answer your question, yes I too can have a very schizophrenic approach to dressing some days I want vintage romantic and other days minimal modern classic. Fortunately I have room for both style personas in my wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-schizophrenic-fashion-personality#post-233545 Sun, 17 Oct 2010 07:07:51 +0000 Sparky 233545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Scarlet, I'm guessing that's because Tara's pic is literally a mirror image of the model pic?</p> <p>ETA: And she fastened just one of its three buttons for a more open look. I bet it looks great buttoned all the way up too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-schizophrenic-fashion-personality#post-233535 Sun, 17 Oct 2010 06:14:47 +0000 Scarlet 233535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually think the AT coat is a little glam rock too because of the ruffle and cut-away style. Are you sure you have it buttoned right in that photo? It seems like the closure is on the other side on the model and there are more buttons. I actually like the the way the AT coat hangs open. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-schizophrenic-fashion-personality#post-233533 Sun, 17 Oct 2010 06:05:53 +0000 Sparky 233533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just chiming in ~ AT coat wins here, hands down. Also, in the pics it *looks* like a much more expensive coat than the other, so it really shows its quality. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-schizophrenic-fashion-personality#post-233528 Sun, 17 Oct 2010 05:39:35 +0000 Kate 233528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that the AT coat is better! I love it when there's a consensus! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-schizophrenic-fashion-personality#post-233498 Sun, 17 Oct 2010 03:06:11 +0000 Beth 233498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tara, I love the idea of green velvet and I think the color looks fab on you, but agree with the others that the AT coat is a real winner here:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-schizophrenic-fashion-personality#post-233484 Sun, 17 Oct 2010 02:29:38 +0000 Jaime 233484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just echoing - the AT coat is definitely a winner! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-schizophrenic-fashion-personality#post-233474 Sun, 17 Oct 2010 02:12:41 +0000 Anonymous 233474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh the AT coat looks great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-schizophrenic-fashion-personality#post-233473 Sun, 17 Oct 2010 02:12:37 +0000 Kari 233473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the Tulle coat, but the fit of the AT jacket is so much better. I think you decided well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-schizophrenic-fashion-personality#post-233471 Sun, 17 Oct 2010 02:03:32 +0000 tarzy 233471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, that was easy! The Tulle is going back. Thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-schizophrenic-fashion-personality#post-233466 Sun, 17 Oct 2010 01:37:06 +0000 Stephanie 233466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To my eye, it's no contest: the Ann Taylor hangs *so* much better. Love the drape of it! Great find. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-schizophrenic-fashion-personality#post-233461 Sun, 17 Oct 2010 01:22:31 +0000 Angie 233461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Tara - I hands down prefer the AT coat. Looks KILLER (after the sleeves have been fixed). Promise you'll wear a bit of colour with it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-schizophrenic-fashion-personality#post-233459 Sun, 17 Oct 2010 01:11:42 +0000 tarzy 233459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Alecia - you have a good eye! The Tulle coat is a teeny, tiny bit tight. I would probably wear it open, but I don't love the way it hangs open.</p> <p>Stephanie - I think you're right. The more I look at the Tulle, the less enraptured I am with it. It's fun, but I don't think it's killer. The fit is not great.</p> <p>I don't love the AT worn open. Is that a deal breaker?</p> <p>(Yes, the sleeves are long. They always are on me. Will have to be fixed.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-schizophrenic-fashion-personality#post-233446 Sun, 17 Oct 2010 00:18:24 +0000 Stephanie 233446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd like to see both, but all things being equal, I think it makes sense to splurge on the Ann Taylor, which is chic but classic. (Love the cutaway style!) I've always said that Italian women are smart, vis-a-vis fashion: spend your money on coats, shoes, and handbags. I think I'd also like the shorter length/cutaway style on you. Not that I'm an expert.</p> <p>FYI, I have a Tulle coat and it has not worn fantastically. It's not a disaster, but it's nowhere near the quality I associate with Ann Taylor's pieces. (Though I don't know this particular jacket.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-schizophrenic-fashion-personality#post-233431 Sat, 16 Oct 2010 23:44:41 +0000 Alecia 233431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the velvet coat. I like that it's not black. Is is a little too small, though? It looks like the buttons are pulling a bit. In any case, I don't know that spending more on a jacket is really a good investment in LA. You don't wear a coat all that much so it seems reasonable to spend a little less on that piece. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-schizophrenic-fashion-personality#post-233430 Sat, 16 Oct 2010 23:43:11 +0000 Angie 233430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lets see the other one on too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-schizophrenic-fashion-personality#post-233426 Sat, 16 Oct 2010 23:25:22 +0000 Megan 233426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Personally, I'd go for the velvet green coat as long as you do love it and spend the extra money on something else :P</p> <p>But that's reflective of where I'm at in building my wardrobe and probably my age. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-schizophrenic-fashion-personality#post-233422 Sat, 16 Oct 2010 23:07:46 +0000 bella 233422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Tara, the Velvet coat is gorgeous but the first one is so you! I really want to see a picture of you in it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-schizophrenic-fashion-personality#post-233421 Sat, 16 Oct 2010 23:06:10 +0000 Mo 233421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have definite multiple personality disorder with my fashion. And that's okay!! Some days are ruffles and others are studs. I like to be able to express different moods or feelings. As long as you don't feel like you're playing dress up but the clothes really reflect you, why not?!! Keep them both is my vote! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-schizophrenic-fashion-personality#post-233418 Sat, 16 Oct 2010 22:54:13 +0000 tarzy 233418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I need help! I recently bought two coats. I love them both, but they represent two different style personalities, and I really should only keep one. </p> <p>They are both good for LA winters, which are extremely mild. </p> <p>#1 - Wool crepe military jacket from Ann Taylor: Sophisticated! Fantastic shape for me. Great structure. Great styling - not over-the-top - when military goes "out" will still be classic. Could be dressed up.<br /> CONS: It's black. A bit pricy. </p> <p>#2 - Velvet Tulle coat from Nordstrom Rack: Fun! Appeals to my rocker glam sensibility. Really like the gray color (greenish-grey). It's velvet! 1/3 the price of the AT.<br /> CON: Styling is a bit trendy.</p> <p>I feel the AT is a better piece, but the velvet is more fun. Do you ever feel like you have two different fashion personalities?</p> <p>(Sorry - I don't have a pic of me in the Ann Taylor. It fits like a short jacket.) </p>
